| Teacher With a
Difference |
SelaQui
World School positions the teacher at
the pinnacle of the learning process-but
with a difference. The teacher is no longer
the 'provider' of all knowledge. He or
she is a 'facilitator', who uses the new
technology to motivate the students to
explore for themselves the world of knowledge.
Motivated and inspired, by the opportunity
of learning to Innovate, and Innovating
to Learn, the teacher at SelaQui continuously
renews and updates subject knowledge &
pedagogy.
The teacher is a leader
and motivator; role model and mentor;
learner and innovator; Leading by example.Comfortable
with convergence technologies, as tools
for learning and evaluation, the teachers
extensively use multi-media and audiovisual
classroom aids. |

teacher, house tutor, house mentor or activity

the limited number of students under his/her charge
a close rapport & relationship that comforts
and inspires the student to learn and grow in
an atmosphere of affection, warmth, trust, togetherness
and openness. Positive and enabling environment
enables the student to delve into the treasure

| A First Learner |
Keeping
in view the rigorous demands of our curriculum
and pedagogy, teacher training and capacity and
competence building are at the core of the learning
processes deployed by SelaQui. While the school
closes for 90 days in a year over two breaks of
45 days each, the SelaQui teacher avails only
45 days of annual holidays in a year. The rest
of the time (45 days in two blocks of 22/23 days
each) is devoted to faculty development programs
(FDP) to update and continuously realign subject
content and pedagogy.
The school is also exploring the possibility
of exchange programs with some of the leading
schools worldwide. Teachers from the participating
schools will spend 4 to 6 weeks at each other's
school to study their school systems and adapt
the best learning practices.

| Head Master's Profile |
|
Mr.
Rohit Pathak, born on 30th October 1975,
did the initial years of his schooling from
St. Francis in Lucknow. He moved on to join
Delhi Public School, RK Puram, and passed
out from there in 1993. Always dreaming
to be an engineer, he took admission in
Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology
as soon as he passed out of school. Being
a fan of automobiles, he took up the study
of Mechanical Engineering. After four years
of academics and extra curricular activities,
Mr. Pathak graduated from there in 1997,
but not before securing a job with one of
India's leading car companies. |
|
|
| |
After working for 5 years in the
industry, Mr. Pathak felt the need to explore foreign
lands, and also to further his education in his
chosen field. He enrolled for a Masters degree in
Mechanical Engineering at Lehigh University in Bethlehem,
Pennsylvania. It was at Lehigh University that Mr.
Pathak had his first experience in teaching. As
a Teaching Assistant to certain professors, he has
the responsibility of taking classes twice a week
for the undergraduate students. It was an enriching
experience, much different from what he had been
trained to do. |
| |
After graduating from Lehigh University
in 2003, he worked for a year with a company in
Philadelphia, before realizing that his dreams lie
somewhere else. |
| |
He gave up the life in America
and returned to his homeland to join SelaQui World
School. Once here, he took up teaching again, and
took a liking to it. One of his biggest accomplishments
was to make SelaQui the first international school
in the northern hills. By introducing and implementing
the International Baccalaureate program at SelaQui
in 2004, Mr. Pathak established himself as a leader
in the education.
|
| |
He took over as Headmaster of SelaQui World School
in 2006, and has taken the school to greater heights
in all areas since then.
